Bush signs filter legislation
By TVTechnology published
President Bush has signed legislation that gives legal protection to content filtering technology that enables skipping or muting of sections of commercial movie DVDs. The enactment of the law was a major defeat for film directors who argued that enabling the manipulation of their content violated copyright protections.
